Factibilidad de producción y exportación de camisetas elaboradas con algodón orgánico bajo maquila para España, año 2025.

Abstract

The research aims to analyze the feasibility of importing organic cotton from Brazil for processing under the temporary import regime, using a textile maquila model in Ecuador. This model uses the benefits and opportunities of the regime for later export to the Spanish market, which has a growing demand for products with added environmental value. Despite being one of the most prominent and recognized in the Americasfor its long history, the country'stextile sector faces challengessuch as limited knowledge of organic standards and bottleneckslike the scarcity of opportunitiesto connect with Ecuadorian companies in the industry. Nevertheless, the study aimed to evaluate the logistical and commercial feasibility of a new business model. This involved analyzing production costs and measuring the profitability of the maquila process in Ecuador, deciding whether opportunities exist in the more mature Spanish market in terms of sustainability. A descriptive and analytical approach was use, including document review, regulatory analysis, and an evaluation of production costs based on assumptions and information obtained from a company with which direct contact was prove. Finally, the results showed that the reference price together with the competitive structure found in Ecuador, allows for the configuration of a new logistical, economic, and commercially practical model, constituting an alternative for sustainable international trade with potential in the European market.
